Mexico is already qualified for the Hexagonal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, but they will be looking for statement wins anyway after a disappointing summer that involved a historic loss in the Copa América Centenario and crashing out in the group stage of the Río Olympics.

The roster consists of sixteen domestic-based players and eight “europeos”. The most-represented club is Porto, with four representatives; the most-represented Liga MX clubs are Tigres UANL and Atlas, with three representatives each.

There are a few new faces on the roster: with Javier “Chicharito” Hernández out with a broken hand, Osorio has called up three uncapped forwards: Martín Barragán, Ángel Zaldívar, and Ángel Sepúlveda.

There are a number of regulars on the team as well, including the evergreen Rafa Márquez, as well as Europe-based mainstays like Miguel Layún and Andrés Guardado.
